Gordon/people

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or people:

    Thou shalt not set up Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey;
    Because the first is crazed beyond all hope,
    The second drunk, the third so quaint and mouthy:
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    I went to a literary gathering once.... The place was filled with people who looked as if they had been scraped up out of drains. The ladies ran to draped plush dresses—for Art; to wreaths of silken flowerets in the hair—for Femininity; and, somewhere between the two adornments, to chain-drive pince-nez—for Astigmatism. The gentlemen were small and somewhat in need of dusting.
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
